The hotel itself is fabulous, rooms and beds very comfortable and spotless. Unfortunately I've marked you down because the staff weren't very accommodating with us leaving our rental car - we only wanted to leave it until 12.30 (ie before new guests check in) but were told this isn't possible, which is disappointing given wed paid 35$ to park.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Great central location right next to the tram station and two theatres! The room was clean, comfortable and modern. Bathroom was very well appointed and the shower was roomy with great soft water and good pressure. Unfortunately our request for a room high up with a view was not granted, so we looked against a big plain wall of the next building. Otherwise we would stay again.

Fabel Christchurch

We all get a bit disappointed when we expect something different to what we receive, I was basing my expectations on Fable Dunedin. Unfortunately I “kicked” the raised tiling at the ChCh hotel 3 times on the way into the bathroom before I learned to step over it. I also had to ask for my complimentary bottle of wine (gold member) vs Dunedin that had it waiting in the room.

Looking fo a couple and got put on the lowest floor looking out onto some old decrepit building roof, so not the greatest. Locations nearby are good and everything is walking distance. Staff on checkout looked very unclean (uniform wise).
